You’ve got to be careful not to just copy what the car ahead is doing especially if you’re coming up on a slower car… If he’s not watching you, he’ll drive you off the race track if you give him the chance. If he’s watching you, more often than not, he’ll miss the turn-in and end up wide of the apex. If you’re following him too closely, its easy to do the same.— Jeremy Dale, Going Faster - Master The Art of Race Driving
